Give your pet the best in care with a laparoscopic (keyhole) spay, also known as a LOVE spay! This minimally invasive approach offers a faster, less painful recovery, with pets often back to their usual activities in just 2-3 days! 🐶💕

What makes a LOVE spay so beneficial?

Reduced Risk of Complications: With smaller incisions, there’s less chance of infection, bleeding, or other surgical complications, giving pet owners extra peace of mind.
Less Pain, Faster Recovery: Pets experience less discomfort and bounce back quickly, ready to play and exercise sooner than with traditional spay procedures.

Hear what our pal Frankies parents had to say -

"Hi There Andrew,
Frankie is doing super well. Thank you to you & your fab team. Amazing - she seems in no pain, happy as can be & sleeping well through the night. Still has lots of energy. We are so happy that we chose a laparoscopic spey for our woof ”
-Rebecca (Frankies Mum)

We always love new equipment day here at St Luke’s Veterinary Centre. Today it’s using our new Ventilator on our laparoscopic spay surgery. Did you know our theatre is equipped with all the same monitoring equipment you would find in a human hospital?

Here are three of our amazing nurses, Jess, Tyla and Sophie getting started on a busy morning of surgery today

It’s that time of year to acknowledge our wonderful nurses who take such good care of your pets when they are in our hospital.

This week (Oct 7–11) is Vet Nurse Awareness Week.

But let's celebrate these amazing humans, every week of the year!
We can’t count the millions of animals they’re helping – every day – with their knowledge, skill, compassion and care.

But we can say 'thank you', one person at a time.

We’re seeing more people turning to hospital emergency rooms instead of visiting their GP.

The same issue is happening in veterinary care.

The New Zealand Veterinary Association has some advice on what to do. Let’s keep emergency clinics for emergencies only, so that sick animals can get the treatment they need quickly.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Spay?

Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery offers a faster, less painful recovery for pets. Here’s Sage, just 30 minutes after her spay, already feeling great! With smaller incisions and less discomfort, she’ll be back to full exercise in just 2-3 days—much quicker than with traditional spay surgery.

Give your pet the best with a laparoscopic spay!

Our Christmas cattery is completely full and there is no room at the inn (nor the waiting list)

Unfortunately we are not taking any more bookings for Christmas nor New Years 2024-2025.

If you are looking for home visits we can recommend Floofs at home.

Please email Sophie directly at [email protected] to enquire.

Please keep an eye out for Kitty Kitty who's been missing from near Crave on Morningside. Not microchipped at the moment. It's her first time venturing outside and wasn't on purpose so likely to be quite nervous.

Our vet Helen is fostering a sweet cat called Delilah who is looking for her forever home.

Delilah is approximately 3-5 years old and has been desexed, microchipped, registered and is parasite-free.

Delilah and her newborn babies were found under a container crate at a community hub in Avondale. It’s suspected Delilah has been the source of a few kittens found around the area!

Delilah is shy with new people but with Helen and her husband, she is loud, cuddly and low maintenance. Delilah spends every night snuggled between the pillows on the bed only getting up for breakfast in the morning.

Like many street mums, she isn’t a fan of other adult cats so being an only cat would be best although a slow introduction to a chill cat would be fine.

Please contact the clinic at [email protected] or call 09 845 5573 if you would like to meet Delilah.

Please note that adequate completion of an adoption questionnaire applies and there is an adoption fee of $80.
